Can You Hear Us? is a podcast by Monica Abad Yang and Madiera Dennison in partnership with the Department of International Development at LSE. The podcast is the first initiative of its kind in the Department and has the overall aim to prioritise BIPOC women and femmes' specific experiences and narratives by creating a space where we can discuss a multitude of topics that affect us as women, women of colour (WOC) and women in professional spaces such as: Colourism or Work Life Balance. The name Can You Hear Us? originates from the COVID-19 pandemic as it is commonly repeated on Zoom but also symbolically reflects the work left to do to empower WOC.

In fact it was being exactly where we needed the impact to be, so being in those communities, being in those slums, being in those villages or everything that we are building on as solutions” - Soumya on Project’s Baala’s model “You do not have to be extraordinary to do extraordinary things” - Soumya’s TedX quote and philosophy…

In today’s episode of Can You Hear Us? , sits down with Andrea Ho, a PhD student specialising in Modern U.S. history at Yale University, a Canadian Fellow at the Organisation of American States, and an activist both on and off campus. She focuses her research on ‘building upon existing community partnership with Indigenous communities and local advocates to continue her commitment to community engaged scholarship’. We discuss the history and indigenous resistance to the carceral state, most notably focusing on the Diné (Navajo) Communities in New Mexico, United States. Tune in to listen to her discuss indigenous self-determination, racial capitalism, her involvement in Yale University’s Racial Capitalism and Carceral State Working Group, and insights into her thesis Freedom Beyond the Prison: Indigenous Incarceration and Resistance in the American West. Quotes from the interview: “Restorative justice is at the front of many people’s mind[s]. The Navajo nation, for example, practice peacemaking which is a form of dispute resolution. People are really thinking about what it means to punish someone and send them through a violent system” “Prisons are not a part of native societies. They are a means of political control by settlers over a group of people who are refusing to live the settler way” “Racial capitalism signifies a relationship between racism and capitalism which is intrinsic. Capitalism was racial from the beginning because it requires inequality. You cannot undo racism without undoing capitalism” “Organising and being in community with one another changes the way people view their place in society which is crucial to making any broader movement happen” Additional resources: Guest spotlight: https://history.yale.edu/people/andrea-ho Zachary Schrag's The Princeton Guide to Historical Research on pages 90-93 has a great explanation of historiography!

Tune in to listen to her discuss how power dynamics operate within a capitalist and global economy, including within the politics of development policy and aid. As well as expand on her conceptual framework on how international development and humanitarian aid projects have extended and reproduced Western imperialism. Quotes from the interview: “ Like with any terms, these definitions, these terms, imperialism and colonialism the definitions for them are never uniform, they are always debated always contested between different scholars, and sometimes they are even used synonymously” - Lama on the Imperialism and Colonialism “And that’s the key thing; what is being prioritised? Yes things aren’t black and white but we need to be looking at who is benefitting and which interests are taking prominence in these project and in these policies etc” - Lama on the privatisation of public goods via the HDN “Put the people and the inhabitants first [...] have that be the compass” - Lama on Urban Revitalisation and revitalization initiatives “One of the key things is to not be afraid to bring one's perspective and ones experiences into their research and their academic journey [...] in my experience this is how you find what you enjoy and what you are most passionate about, and they give you unique insights and contributions if we are thinking from an intellectual or academic perspective” - Lama on advice to future BIWOC in academia…

The Can You Hear Us Team is excited to Introduce So We Heard — an informal coffee chat series that, like Can You Hear Us , creates a space for black, indigenous women and femmes of color to discuss and understand anything related to international development without the pressure of having to sound intelligent while doing it. In the first episode, host Ragini Puri (CYHU Assistant Producer) dives into a chapter from The Critique of Commodification: Contours of a Post-Capitalist Society by Christoph Hermann with CYHU lead researcher, Dana Abuzinadah. They re-examine the notion of commodification, its many critiques, and how it truly operates within our world, paying special attention to the commodification of women’s labour globally. At the end of the day, commodifying or the process of turning into a valued commodity transcends the boundaries of the labor force and creates this notion of a breadwinner in the household ultimately shaping and reinforcing the idea of a nuclear family. And linking this to women’s development, constraining them to the household or keeping them dependent on a male breadwinner in no way feeds into their development.…
“Duality is a useful lens to have for International Development because if we are not aware of these dualities, how can we work on improving the system and eliminating them?” - Emonie This week on Can You Hear Us, Monica and Madeira discuss dualities in International Development alongside Emonie Ayiwe; a Finnish-Nigerian Luxembourger with a master's degree in Intercultural Encounters! The theme for this week was inspired by Monica and Madeira’s personal experiences, and also the experiences of CYHU’s past guests. As a podcast dedicated to amplifying the voices of BIPOC women, we often ask our guests how their identities contribute to their approach to their work. Almost all of them respond with the same phrase, “This is not all I am.” Duality can be defined as “the quality or state of having two different or opposite parts or elements.” Keeping this definition in mind, the episode begins with Emonie breaking down what it means to be a Finnish-Nigerian Luxembourger. She explains how the term essentially describes “who she is” and “where she comes from” and highlights the importance of accepting her Finnish and Nigerian identities as a whole instead of considering herself a sum of “halves”. Monica and Madeira, who are both mixed, further add to the conversation by reflecting on their own experiences. The three of them discuss the pressures of being put in a box and how owning all aspects of their identity helped them feel more assertive. The episode proceeds to focus on the role of duality in one’s professional life. Emonie has a keen interest in hip-hop studies and wrote her master's thesis on the expressions of identity in South Korean b-boys. Further, she has also interned in Benin. Currently, she is a research assistant for a Brussels-based NGO called the Democratic Society. She talks about code-switching and how the way she expresses herself varies depending on her surroundings. Monica brings up an interesting study that found that reminding any social group of a stereotype can negatively affect their outcomes and performance. This leads to an interesting discussion about dualities in International Development. An idea that often pushes back against looking at identities as dualities is intersectionality. Emonie discusses the importance of intersectionality but points out that instead of negating the idea of dualities, it works in conjunction with it. The discussion comes full circle as Monica, Madeira, and Emonie reflect on the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index with Emonie pointing out how the numbers cannot be studied in isolation as gender is simply one aspect of an individual’s identity. After a deep and reflective discussion, the episode ends on a light note as Emonie is subjected to the wheel of questions. Perfectly in line with Emonie’s interest in hip-hop, the question for this episode is “Who is your favourite artist?” To find out Emonie’s answer and for some great Nigerian artist recommendations, check out this week’s episode of Can You Hear Us!
